Fake Princess
Ccxlix Chapter
"Under there, there's a forest. We rest there first tonight," said Izumi again heard.
"All right..."
"Kou, did you see the forest there? Put us all down there," I said again, followed by a moving body swooping down.
There was a loud leg, I couldn't see anything... It's different when we fly, here... Even the moonlight did not fall down one bit. It's all dark, you won't be able to see anything but... If...
"Sachi, I'll help you get down. And you're Aeneas, don't move first" Izumi's voice was heard followed by a grip on my right hand.
Throwing my head to the right, only Izumi's eyes could be seen in this darkness. Something grabbed my other hand as my body moved as I felt the embrace on my waist.
"Stand here! Don't move one bit" he said again as I felt my feet climb onto something.
The embrace on my waist detached followed by Izumi's eyes that turned back to her back. My head was moving to the right when there was a repeated sound of friction.
"Haru-nii, is that you?"
"What's wrong? Do you need anything?" Haruki's voice answered my words followed by the previous friction voice that disappeared.
"What are you doing? I mean, what was that noise?"
"Aahh, I'm just moving my feet kicking tan..."
Haruki's voice came to a halt, a strong wind suddenly slapped my body. The cold wind that I was already familiar with, had Eneas already descended from above his body? Has Kou flown back?
"All of you, follow me!"
My left hand moved following the voice of Izumi who spoke earlier. The grip on my right hand grew stronger following the steps, the faint vibrations in my right hand seemed faint. Father once said, if Haruki used to spend his time in the dark. Did he hide his fear?
A prince should hide his weakness...
Father's words suddenly came back to mind, and my two brothers did very well. As a sister, how could I not support them.

"Sa-chan, get up," the faint voice patted her softly in the ear.
My eyes opened slowly followed by a few pats on the cheeks. I looked at Haruki who was looking at me, his face looked a little blurred in the view following the slightly piercing glare.
"Wake up, it's morning" he said again, leaving my body sitting as his face moved away.
"Where are Izu-nii and Eneas?" I moved to sit beside him.
"They were cleaning up the body at the waterfall that was there" he said moving his index finger to the right.
"Waterfall?"
"You've woken up Sachi?" Lux's voice came from the right side of my body.
"Where are you Lux?" My words moved my palms covering my lips that were evaporating wide.
"I'm just looking for plants that we might be able to use in the future" he said, flying and sitting on the ground in front.
"You can take a bath now there, we're done," Izumi's voice came with footsteps approaching.
Izumi walked over with Aeneas walking beside her, a water circle dripping from the end of their hair. I stood up with both hands grabbing my brown leather bag.
Izumi stopped her footsteps in front of me, her lips moved followed by her index finger which also moved in direction. Walk straight, if you see the tree I marked... Just follow the direction in the tree... That's what Izumi said.
Both my feet moved following the small carvings that were along the trees in the forest. Faintly heard the sound of water gurgling that filled the ears...
The sound was getting stronger as my legs moved deeper into the forest. My eyes were fixed on the waterfall in front, the water fell on the high rock cliffs below.
As my legs got closer to the waterfall, I placed the leather bag I was holding on one of the large stones beside the small river. I put my fingers open all the clothes I was wearing.
Cold, that's what I thought when my legs touched the river water. My body was moving closer and closer to the waterfall, water droplets bouncing off the rocks slapped me repeatedly.
I put my hand through my hair that started getting a little wet from the splash from the waterfall earlier. It felt very fresh, when the splashes of water increasingly wet my body that was previously full of sweat.
I stood back to the waterfall earlier, the water that fell down felt very comfortable massaging my body. Tiredness seemed to disappear from the body, especially when I moved to swim down the river.

"You done yet?" Revealing Izumi looked at me who was walking towards her, I answered her question with a soft nod from me.
"Come here, eat this meat first" Haruki said, directing a full stitch of grilled meat at me.
"Thank you," I answered grabbing the meat earlier as I moved to sit next to it.
"What are you doing Lux?" I stared at her who was wrapping something with small cut leaves.
"Prepare the poison before we continue our journey. The poison I made earlier had thinned out while there," he said without looking at me.
"Did you also give the two guards who stood guard at the door last night with the poison you made?" Say it to him again.
"It's just a sleeping potion. I asked Izumi to give the potion to the stupid guard, if not... How do I have time to lock the door and even make another smoke from outside the room" Lux said while still wrapping the white powder using the leaves.
"I told you, leave everything to me. I was small, but I wasn't stupid like them" he said, turning his head and smiling at me.
